The season finale of The Last of Us on HBO is this weekend, and to celebrate we decided to make our own animatronic Clicker. A Clicker is essentially a mushroom zombie. The cordyceps fungus has taken over their brain and burst out of their skull. Gross. Because of this, they can’t see and instead use a type of clicking echolocation to find their prey. Naughty Dog did a crazy good job designing these iconic monsters in the video game, and HBO really knocked it out of the park bringing them to life for their The Last of Us show. We couldn’t wait to make a fungus zombie of our own.
We started our build using the Nightcrawler animatronic from Spirit Halloween. This Halloween animatronic has a great jump scare and was the perfect base for our DIY Clicker. We sculpted our zombie head’s mushroom bloom with craft foam and foam clay and his clothes were upcycled from the Goodwill thrift store.
We’re so happy with how our Spirit Halloween animatronic makeover turned out and we can’t wait to see the finale of The Last of Us this weekend! If you want to learn how to make animatronic monsters, upgrade your Spirit Halloween/Home Depot/Lowes animatronics, or just watch some awesome Halloween DIY tutorials, please consider checking out some of our other Spooky DIY videos. And until next time, Stay Wicked!

The Last of us is the best game and series ever
Thanks for using the video game as your reference and not the crappy tv show. Much appreciated
@@TiggiTheWillful do you really think the tv show is crappy? i thought they did a wonderful job recreating it.
@@TiggiTheWillful Gotta respect the game 100% but I also agree the show is phenomenal.
This is your coolest creature yet! Spirit Halloween should hire you guy's to redesign *ALL* of their monsters.
The movement is perfect for the clickers! This makes me want to learn more about foam clay and air brushing because those turned out looking so accurate.
You should 100% check it out!!
When is the new video coming
Tomorrow morning
Can you make huggy wuggy
Friday
I always love your methodology as designers. Watching you break down the project it's so fun. It's what I miss most from theatre making.
Love hearing that. We try to keep it fun even if it’s not the most efficient 😄
@Wicked Makers It's the perfect mix of fun, relationship goals and fabulous crafting. You are one of my absolute favourite channels, always 🥰
@@WickedMakers Can you please make a life size m3gan prop from m3gan that would really make my day, I am huge fan of you guys.
I've been trying to make a clicker mask for a while but I haven't made any thing
@@Iceeman13 I second this!!!
“Let the clay tell me where it wants to go.” Sounds just like “The fires told him who to burn.” Both psychotic and chilling
Hahah
You look into things to much
A little tip with the air brush, if you keep the air flowing while not painting, it keeps the paint from drying and preventing clogging
Also tip dry is probably what your experiencing so when it gets “clogged” take a tooth brush and lightly scrub the needle tip
*Good to know!*
As an artist myself, there is just something satisfying watching other artist work. I also pick up techniques I might need to use later... I love it.
Awesome. Glad to hear
And the "oh heck what now??" is relatable 😃
Oh, I'm straight up taking notes, lol. I'm not even into horror art, but I love how they repurpose and use things in a new way.
I really love how much more recognition The Last of Us is getting..I’ve been a fan since it was released and it makes me really happy to see how much more recognition it’s getting now…
Yep agreed!
What recognition? Before planning in the 2nd Game, Neil Druckman himself has been working making the show since 2014. The Last Of Us has always had some awesome recognition!
Same ❤
Same😂
The "petals" of this kind of mushroom are referred to as "gills" I believe. Looks amazing!!!
The trip to the woods is so funny….it needs to have a “Meanwhile, back at the lab!” when we return to mushroom making 😅 I definitely want to see paint brush tips
hahah thank you. The new video is up with the tips! Link in description
Honestly, I love the mushropom pieces. You made something organic and complex looking in a simple way and that is true genius
thanks!
I love Meredith, she's amazing! I worked with her on a film a long time ago. I would love to see a longer video with her!
Meredith is the best!!!
What film?
hey uhh you dissapeared 15 years ago-
@@braceletcreations I'm a ghost
@@eggy680 It was called The Lights. It was a super low-budget horror film.
I can't tell if Meredith told or not, but if you want to prevent paint blotches from the airbrush, I suggest that before you let go of the air, you stop the paint flow first. That way there won't be any paint left when you start to spray again. It also prevents clogs. It's a fantastic build by the way!
Modifying this to work as a pneumatic air prop would be just the ticket to get that pop. Maybe even set up a rear leg to pop out parallel to the floor with a pneumatic as well.
The foam pieces look incredible! 👏 I'd love to see more of the airbrushing process, Meredith seems super cool and knowledgeable. I love the little details like including the slit between the teeth. Awesome work!
Yeah Meredith is top notch awesome.
Jaimie out here looking like she has been airbrush painting for YEARS. So talented at everything she does! Jay too I guess 😉😉
For real though, this looks SO COOL!! You guys never disappoint. I have been watching you guys for a long while now, and watching your channel keep growing more and more is awesome. ☺
Thank you so much. 😄😄😄😄
I love how the added weight keeps it from moving so wobbly, and makes it look SO MUCH more realistic. I happy side effect of making it look great!
I would love a piece to use as a reference!! They look very realistic. The fungal "blooms" are called fungal fruiting bodies. Where all the baby fungi spores are.
Production quality has gotten even better after you all went full time. Loving the content!
thank you!!!
I have never seen The Last of Us before but seeing “mushroom man”. Let’s just say I am glad I don’t watch horror shows. ( gives me nightmares)
Your creations are amazing and cool.👍❤️💜
They're a pain in game but there's something endearing about them
It’s amazing. Highly recommend
This rocked. I love the detail you put into the mushrooms, as well as trying to find some real ones to work with! Seeing you both progress and develop your talents is wonderful. I think I'd run if I saw this prop somewhere!
Absolutely badass! Though the pop-up concerns me; the lack of airtime compared to the outta the box NightCrawler means there's a little too much weight on his mech. I can ignore that though, this is creative and scary as hell! Can't wait to see you guys makeover props releasing this year! Maybe makeover Groundskeeper from Morris Costumes into the Scissorman from Clock Tower?
I'm glad I wasn't the only person to notice this. I was thinking it's cause of the modifications they made to the structure but weight actually makes a lot more sense. Esp bc it seemed to move more after they bent the frame. It's a sin bc I feel like that extra movement would have really made it a lot more terrifying.
Still it's a stunning piece of art and the fact it's functional at all makes it 1000x better. Tons of patience skill and follow thru I don't have!
AWESOME!!! You guys are really ramping up the production values and I am HERE FOR IT! A great makeover and so timely. Keep up the amazing work Jamie and Jay.
Thank you! We appreciate it. 🤘🏼😄
The music near the end during the airbrushing made me think of “I wonder what their interpretation of the cut content Cyberpunk vampires would look like?”
My 9 year old son is obsessed with your videos. He just made me watch this one and then begged me to comment about possibly being picked to get one of the leftover petals. He asked Santa for the tools to make the wine pouring decoration you made and he got it so we'll be attempting that one soon.
Absolutely love your makeover projects. Longer videos are always welcome.
This looks so amazing! The foam clay and airbrushing combo is insane for how organic it looks.
thanks man!!
Found you guys from Halloween last year and I'm so proud how far you guys have excelled in every craft! I'd be surprised if no one literally hires you guys to make props!
Some more video on the airbrushing would be great - It turned out incredible you would never know it was the 1st time airbrushing.
It's up! youtube.com/@WickedRandom
Love this! Looks like it belongs in the show. Great work!
Thanks!!
Yes please share the long version learning from Meredith! That would be super informative:D
its up! link in description
The detail that you’ve captured for the cordyceps infection on the clicker was down right on point. As a last of us fan I love this. ❤
I love your dedication to this Chanel and you work soo hard thank you for being here to entertain us and I love how the Mushroom peddle thingys turned out I would love to have one 😊
This guy came out so cool!!!!!! The airbrush job is amazing!!! I’ve had my airbrush for over two years and this was so much better than I could do!!! Y’all make amazing things and it’s so cool how y’all think this up!! When I saw the leaks on insta I did not think night crawler!! It’s crazy!! I would love one of the mushroom head pieces!!! I know exactly we’re to put it!!! Y’all are amazing and stay wicked!!! Stay safe as well!!!!
Thanks JM! Really appreciate it
Please do a long version of the airbrush tutorial!!!
I have been trying to figure mine out for the last year, and instantly, I think I've been using too high of a pressure.
Ok!!
You also did so good jumping in the deep end with the double action, almost all the artists I know started with the single
Watching you learn to use your airbrush has encouraged me to dig mine out and try again! Love the mushroom pieces, I'd love to get my hands on your leftover mushroom pieces and make a plant for my witch's greenhouse. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Okay this was one of the best suggested by CZcams I’ve ever had! Loved the process and I’d absolutely die to have a leftover petal
Awesome thanks for watching! 😄😄😄
I haven’t seen your guy’s channel yet until today but I love it! Normally I sometimes skip to the end of videos like this but you guys make it so entertaining all the way through! Also you’ve probably already given them out but I’d love those mushroom pedals! They’re beautifully crafted!
Glad to hear it! Thank you for watching. 🤘🏼😄
You both take things to the next level. I am also re-learning airbrushing and just got my compressor with a tank. Creating a space for it now so I can do painting of my 3D prints when needed.
Thank you,
I’m so glad you guys are making videos year round now/full time. I used to watch your videos on repeat to get my Wicked Makers fix 🥺
they humbled spirit halloween in every way
I would love to see an Air brushing video! Your videos are awesome ❣️
Ok!
I love that its not October yet/anymore and you guys are still feeding the creepy passion!
I would love to see an airbrush tutorial with Meredith. I have a similar compressor but always struggle with condensation getting in the airbrush, with the filter and water separator, still happens. Thanks for sharing your awesome work!
You guys should SERIOUSLY put this guy out for Halloween this year! You’d scared the crap outta kids 😂
It would traumatize them 💀💀
That looks soooooo good good job
Thanks! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
YESSS! Foam clay is what I used for making one of my first masks. I wanted as realistic a fox skull as I could make while still having it fit flat to my face, and it made it SO obscenely easy being able to blend out lines so they looked more like a natural fusion of the bone and allowing for the open end of the nose to have the delightfully pockmarked look. I didn’t have access to an airbrush, but one of my favorite parts about that stuff is it ALSO holds onto dry pigments SUPER well!
I have such a good idea!!! You guys should make an floating realistic rc alligator that whould be so cool, and amazing for Halloween or to prank people!
"The Animatronic characters do get a bit quirky at night."
The whole air wolf vibe for the air brushing of the head was spot on loved it lol
Ahhh the Airwolf theme is still the best isn’t it??
It's always a treat getting to see new videos from you two
Jaimie absolutely killed it with those mushrooms this looks amazing
I want a mushroom
Another amazing wicked transformation! Thank you so much for continuously bringing us fantastic and creative new designs with every new video. I feel so inspired and can't wait to start working on some new props this year!
I love mushrooms and would love have to one of your foam ones, the air brushing technique created such a realistic look on the sculpted foam. Awesome work!
That bit at the end about getting out of ur comfort zone - oddly hit me! I’m currently putting off building a background for a vivarium - i’ve never done it! It’ll be challenging and i don’t wanna mess up.
All this to say - ur bit about it always being worth it to try something new, motivated me.
Great project!
Glad to hear it! 😊
This is such an awesome build! You have really out done yourselves this time. I am always amazed at what you accomplish.
The two of you are amazing and so creative! This definitely looks WICKED!
I learned straining thru a cheesecloth while adding the paint to the airbrush pot keeps a lot of particulates out and helps prevent clogs. Hope that helps.
Man, ya'll really knocked this one out of the water! Very cool looking and this animatronic (aside from his weird back knees) is reallyy perfect for a clicker! I love watching yall's kind of "wing it" approach to all of these. Always excited to watch a new DIY from ya'll!
I personally would love to see a longer video with the course you did with Meredith!
I think I could learn a lot from it for my own projects, and I really like the way she taught you guys.
Such a cool project! It turned out amazing 🤘🏼🥰🤘🏼
This looks so awsome. The movement fits perfect and the mushroom head looks so real
I’m always amazed on how you two keep coming up with these ideas. This one turns out great and looks like one of them from the show!! Airbrush is something I need to practice more. Great work.
You guys are fantastic! Your camera work has gotten so much better as well. Keep up the great work!
Incredible Work! The way that animatronic moves is super realistic!
This may be your best project to date. Very impressed! You nailed the mushroom blooms! Keep on making, keep inspiring.
Those mushrooms are incredible!!!! I’d love to see them in person! You guys are amazing at this stuff and your videos helped inspire me and I really want to work in making monsters in movies or theme parks or even haunted houses come to life! I am planning on making a clicker costume soon and this really helps with different methods and I would go crazy to be able to even hold one of those leftover petals for even two seconds
You guys are getting me inspired to make some more halloween stuff! Excellent job, especially on the first airbrush project! You make it look like a piece of cake.
You obviously spent a lot of time on this video, and the result is amazing! Love following your channel!
The whole process was so interesting to watch. I can't wait to try foam clay and airbrush now. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome. I love your repurposing and please show the extended version of learning airbrushing. New skills always welcome.
It's up! youtube.com/@WickedRandom
Omggggg it looks amazing!!! I love seeing you guys grow and learn new things to make the creations even better!!! Keep up the amazing job!!!!
You guys rock! Glad to see more videos from your channel. Your content is very inspirational.
Love you guys! I'd like to see the full length airbrush video.
Great video, I have been thinking about doing some LOU projects and you helped me decided what direction to go in. You guys rock. Bob Ross reference is a class move girl. I learned how to paint from him 40 years ago, and the man was a master and his art lives strong today. I know him and Peapod are hanging out and chilling, amazed by all the art moving through the world.
Just watch this video, crazy accurate sculpting! I may wanna do this method for my bloater costume im doing for Halloween next year!
Girl you put in WORK! Stellar job. You can do it all alone. You guys should totally do a versus
Amazing work, guys! I'm going to pick up some foam clay and try some of these techniques myself. I would love to have one of those extra foam mushroom bits if they aren't already spoken for.
This looks incredible!! Thank you for the airbrush tips. I just bought a new kit to get back into it. Your tutorials are always super inspiring and makes me feel okay when I hit hurdles with my projects🤗💗💗💗💀💀👻👻
Now THAT was cool! I don't watch the show but had heard of it and seen images. You all are very talented and make a great team.
You guys inspired me to make stuff all the time! For Halloween I'm making a companion cube, and portal gun to make my costume!
love this yalls channel makes me so happy as a maker myself sooo many good tips
This came out perfect!!!.... I enjoyed watching the process and learned a few things. I've been interesed in airbrush painting but wasn't sure where to start. After watching your video Im definitely inspired to try and I appreciate sharing your experience.
I also going to look into Hawg Fly. Thank you again for sharing 🙂
Glad to hear it! 😄
I love the clean Nike shoes the clicker has on in the background! It’s just so goofy in the context of a clicker
Hahah yes
It’s great to see more insight into the creation of these type of models. It really feels like you’re the only CZcamsrs that really do a deep dive into the creation and I really appreciate it. Looking forward to the next video!!
PS: those mushroom airbrush pieces are cool!!!!
Thanks!! Glad you’re enjoying the vids.
This is actually super useful for making a clicker cosplay thanks for the inspiration and I would love a mushroom petal be great to see your work up close and personal.
I have used an airbrush to paint model cars for years and it still clogs after I spray with it for a while. Paint builds up on the needle and it won't spray anymore. You did a really good job for not really using it before!
Loved seeing the magic behind the transformation. I learned so much from you two! This is the first time I have seen one of your videos, it won't be the last. Liked and subscribed. THANK YOU! Cheers!
Thanks Kevin for watching and glad to hear you enjoyed it! 🤘🏼😄
Love the accuracy of the model to the game and show
I think they're called gills, just started watching your video and can't wait for new episode of show next week, it's so good. This looks like a fun project to work on 😊
This looks great and I'd love the extra little mushroom bits!
Happy accidents as you figure things out. That’s the great thing about creativity. There’s always a solution. Your hole worked out in the end with your add ons. And with the huge blooms? Boom! A new backstory to explain. Worked beautifully.
This is so cool! Everything is so well put together that it feels like a tv production
Thank you! 😄
Love this so much!!! My 5 yr old nephew is obsessed with animatronics- so I definitely had to send this video for him to watch! Loved seeing all the pieces coming together! Such an awesome idea!!! ✌😘
This is amazing, what a beautiful piece of work! I have been a fan for a long time and in joy all of what you guys have done.🎉
Yes absolutely would love to see an in depth airbrush video!! This is amazing🙌
It's up! youtube.com/@WickedRandom
That’s awesome. You two did such a good job and the mushroom is so cool. I’m definitely interested.
9/10, the ONLY few recommendations I might add is that after the clicker phase is actually inflicted, the clothes are almost non existent, if he had the background of an office building, he'd be put in something a bit more tight and strung up, so if it was tight, the zombie would likely tear it to shreds, most clickers don't even have clothes, but overall, great job, the face bloom is just about perfect, and as for the stance, it goes great with the whole clicky twitch, but the way its on all fours kind of would resemble stalkers more.
LONGER VID ON HOW TO AIRBRUSH WOULD BE AMAZING!!! I have an airbrush machine and dont really know how to use it and im sure there’s a lot more people who are in the same situation or would love to get into it! Great video as usual keep up the great work!!
It’s on our second channel 🤘🏼😄 link is in the video description. Thanks!
I LOVE watching you videos! I love how big the mushrooms are. I think they dont look as big once the face was attached to the body
